a priori

a priori

A sentence, proposition, thought or judgment is a priori (literally “before”) if its truth is not dependent on how our actual experience (experiment and observation) happens to turn out. Many have thought that the truths of logic and mathematics are a priori, though J. S. Mill and W. V. O. Quine might be thought to maintain the contrary position. Some equate a priori and analytic.
